[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Totally disheartened by a system that gives you the impression of great choices but then dangles them in front of you like candy you can never reach.

This is not how charters are supposed to work, is it? Why can't they expand to absorb the crazy demand?[/quote]

Sorry, but you sound like a two-year-old[/quote]

Agree but then again this is Wound Licking Day for many, so I get the knee-jerk "it's not fair" responses. [/quote]

NP. I get the disappointment, but saying "it's not fair" is still petulant because it usually (especially today) means that someone else got something that you wanted or felt you deserved. Everyone is paying the taxes, and someone always gets in. Be as disappointed as you gotta be, but lose the entitlement. Your kid doesn't deserve that 1 PK3 seat any more than the kid who got it.[/quote]

Well... it is inherently unfair. We're all paying taxes and only some of us are getting free pre-k. [/quote]

Only some of you are getting into [u]the free pre-k that you want[/u]. There are ALWAYS spaces available. There are conversations to be had about the overall quality of education in DC, but when those conversations take on the flavor of "I pay my taxes and my kid didn't get into HRCS 1-6 and HRDCPS 7-12" it's not about overall fairness. It's about you not getting what you want.[/quote]
